Electrical and Instrumentation Design and Drafting
| 09 – 13 Feb. 2026, Abu Dhabi | 10 – 14 Aug. 2026, Abu Dhabi |
COURSE OVERVIEW:
The translation of complex engineering concepts into precise technical documentation is the core of successful project execution in the electrical and instrumentation sectors. This course provides a comprehensive guide to the principles and practices of design and drafting, focusing on the creation of professional schematics, layouts, and schedules. Participants will explore the standards that govern technical drawing, ensuring that the resulting documents are clear, accurate, and compliant with international engineering norms.
The scope of this training addresses the entire design lifecycle, from the development of Process and Instrumentation Diagrams to the creation of detailed electrical wiring and cabinet layouts. It covers the technical nuances of cable routing, instrument location, and the integration of control systems into the physical plant environment. The curriculum provides a detailed focus on the use of modern Computer-Aided Design tools, teaching participants how to manage complex drawing sets and ensure consistency across multi-disciplinary projects.
Coverage includes the interpretation of engineering specifications to produce high-quality "As-Built" documentation that supports long-term operations and maintenance. Attendees will learn to design cable schedules, loop drawings, and termination diagrams that provide all the necessary information for field installation. By combining theoretical design principles with practical drafting techniques, the course equips professionals with the expertise required to deliver technical packages that facilitate safe and efficient construction and commissioning.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
After completion of this course, the participants will be able to:
- Interpret and create Process and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs).
- Design professional electrical single-line and three-line diagrams.
- Create detailed instrument loop drawings and termination sheets.
- Develop physical layouts for control panels and electrical rooms.
- Design cable routing plans and cable tray systems professionally.
- Utilize CAD software for electrical and instrumentation drafting.
- Create comprehensive cable schedules and bill of materials.
- Implement international symbology and numbering standards.
- Design grounding and lightning protection layouts for facilities.
- Manage drawing revisions and the engineering change process.
- Produce clear and accurate as-built documentation for operations.
- Ensure coordination between electrical, instrumentation, and mechanical designs.
TARGET AUDIENCE:
This course is intended for Design Engineers, Draftspersons, Project Leads, and Technical Managers involved in electrical and instrumentation projects.
TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:
A highly interactive combination of lectures, discussion sessions, and case studies will be employed to maximize the transfer of information, knowledge, and experience. The course will be intensive, practical, and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance the learning experience. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.
The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.
COURSE CERTIFICATE:
National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
